After much thought and deliberation…I've decided to end 7 Years and Counting. I know this must be upsetting and disappointing to a lot of you, but please allow me to explain.

I didn't come to this decision lightly. I've actually been thinking about this for a while. I just don't have the same passion for this story that I once did. Every time I stare at the draft for the next chapter I get nothing interesting. I have no drive to keep going as it is. The story has been getting stagnant for a while, and I realize that.

That might also be because I don't have the same love for Fairy Tail that I once had. Don't get me wrong I still love the series, but after everything that went wrong throughout the final arc and the disappointing ending, a good portion of my passion for it was lost. It almost killed my vibe for this story.

There are other projects I have going on right now that I would prefer to devote my time to, and this one no longer has a place among them.

This isn't the end though. I plan to revisit this story in the future, albeit in a much different capacity than it is now. Basically a complete rework with a lot of the unimportant bits cut out so it flows much more cleanly.

This and A Knight & Her Guardian Dragon will still be available to those that want to read it, but this will be the last update for this story.

Once again I am sorry for the inconvenience, and I sincerely thank all of you who read and commented on this story. It wouldn't have gotten this far without you.

Hopefully when I come back to this pairing, you guys will welcome me back with open arms.

Once again, thank you and thanks for reading! :)
